I had great respect for Tommy having spent 8 years in school with him throughout the years. He was respectful, kind and a caring person. Our prayers, thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends. I wish I had known he was living in The Villages, we were neighbors and I did not know it. I now live in Ft. Myers, FL. Rest in peace my friend.
